To make Hasty Fritters.
TAKE a stew-pan, put in some butter, and let it be hot: in the mean time take half a pint of ale, not bitter, and stir in some flour by degrees in a little of the ale; put in a few currants, or chopped apples, beat them up, and drop in large spoonfuls at time all over the pan. Take care they don't stick together, turn them with an egg slice, and when they are of a fine brown, lay them in a dish, and throw some sugar over them. Garnish with orange cut into quarters.
